Made in Tokoname, Japan, this water cooler, made from red clay, will come in very handy when brewing green tea. Since most green teas needs to be brewed at lower temperatures, use this item to aid you in cooling your just boiled water first to exactly where you need it to be.

Reviews

This by far has been my favorite teapot. It is perfect for brewing gyokuro in small quantities, and is very cheap for a full set!
This said, I only ever use the teapot itself. The teacups are far too small for much more than one gulp. The cups would be perfect for tasting sessions, but little more. Fortunately, however, the teapot's volume 100% matches that of my teacups that I bought from this site (e.g. "Banshuu"), so the size is not a problem.
I cannot judge the water cooler, since I never used it, having a thermometer on my kettle.
This teapot keeps its heat well, without burning your hands.

Although we are shipping orders within our normal 24 hours of receiving them time frame (actually, it's usually 8 hours or less), we are finding the actual *delivery* of parcels to be exceptionally delayed at this time, especially the Northeastern United States. This includes EMS parcels, which are currently failing to even show tracking once they leave Japan.

Because of the effects of winter storms along the U.S., there may be delays in delivery of mail in the regions listed below. Furthermore, there may also be considerable delays in the arrival of mail sent from this region to Japan.

Testimonials

I first found o-cha.com using a search engine for green tea. I have not had such excellent tea since a friend from Japan brought some back for me.

In fact, one of my friends who livied in Japan for mant years commented that your tea took him back to his fondest memories of that time.

This has been a very wonderful experience to shop for tea and teaware.

Thank you for giving a little bit of Japan to me here in the U.S.

I am thrilled that I found your website through an internet search. I bought the gift set which came today. I am very impressed with everything about this set. It is beautiful and the tea is the best green tea I have ever tasted.
In the United States we have many tea houses, but none compare to the quality of this tea.
Our doctors are telling cancer patients to drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day. (and it is proven for healthy people to help prevent cancer)
Here they think the best is the boxed tea bags at the grocery. I am convinced that is not the way to go. I will buy my green tea from O-cha from now on.
Thank you!
